…talls The option of nix-caisson/caisson#149 gets an entry in the option reference, with what home-manager's own commands show when it is set. The reference of `caisson/nixos-parent` lists the home-manager option it sets, and the reference of `caisson/home-manager-activation` says how the machine installs the packages and where it reads the profile.
